Configuring Logical Adapter Boards for NetWare Link/ATM

NetWare Link/ATM recognizes only a logical interface adapter board. This means that you must first configure a physical adapter board and driver on the server and then configure a corresponding logical interface board using the NetWare Link/ATM driver (ATMWAA). The logical interface board name is the network interface used when you bind protocols.

For information about configuring NetWare Link/ATM network interfaces and WAN call destinations, refer to Setting Up in the NetWare Link/ATM documentation.

How to Configure a Logical Adapter Board for NetWare Link/ATM

Before you begin, you must configure a physical ATM board.

To configure a logical adapter board, complete the following steps:

1. Load NIASCFG, then select the following parameter path:

   Select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > Boards

2. Do one of the following:

   If you are configuring a new board:

   • Press Ins to display the list of available drivers.
   • Select ATMWAA from the list of drivers.

   If you are changing an existing board configuration, you must delete the existing board configuration and return to the beginning of this step to add a new board.

3. In the Board Name field, enter a unique name.

4. In the Comment field, type a descriptive comment, if desired.

5. Press Esc to return to the Internetworking Configuration menu; save your changes when prompted.

6. If you want these changes to take effect immediately, you must first configure the network interface for this board as described in Setting Up in the NetWare Link/ATM documentation.

   After configuring the network interface, you can make the changes take effect by restarting the router or selecting Reinitialize System . If you want to configure other parameters, do so now, then restart the router or reinitialize the system when you are finished.
